Social media has wrongly identified a Cincinnati, Ohio teenager as the high school student who engaged in a confrontation with a Native American protester, leading to a slew of online attacks.

Michael Hodge and his family were subject to threats after being doxxed — having personal information shared online — according to his older brother, Andrew Hodge. According to a Sunday Twitter thread by Andrew Hodge, members of his family were harassed and spammed with “threats of physical violence" after their parents' address got posted online.

“My parents, uncles, & aunts, receive messages stating they are pieces of shit parents and won't be able to protect #MichaelHodge forever... seriously what kind of behavior is this?” Hodge wrote.

There has to be arrest and prosecution of the people who post personal information and harass innocents. Plus civil suits.

GoFundMe a legal fund, start requesting records from phone & internet companies and start suing. Pursue VPNs that won't release information.

A money making enterprise on identifying, locating and suing doxxers would stop this malignant behavior.

Fake Vietnam vet and fake Injun unless and until demonstrated otherwise.
